India is set to make its return to the ICC Champions Trophy after an eight-year hiatus, with all matches scheduled to be held in Dubai. Political issues have prevented India from traveling to Pakistan, the tournament’s official host.
Mohammed Shami, who recently rejoined the T20I squad, has been confirmed for the ODIs as well. In addition, promising young left-handed batter Yashasvi Jaiswal is anticipated to make his ODI debut.
The squad features a blend of seasoned players and fresh talent. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are the primary options for wicketkeeping duties. The all-rounder trio of Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel brings substantial depth to both the batting and bowling line-ups. Kuldeep Yadav is set to lead the spin attack, with Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh bolstering the pace department alongside Bumrah and Shami.
